r ,1 Drama and Debate All school events fulfill a definite pur- pose by providing necessary interests for each individual. A set pattern of dialogue, theory and dramatic motivations are de- veloped by the members of Stage and Stammer Drama Club. These devoted stu- dents, under the direction of Miss Karolyn Sherfey, spend many extra hours learning the art of producing or acting in plays. Members of this club participate in class plays and skits that are given throughout the school year. Among the plays produced this year were, the Jr.-Sr. Play See How They Run ; a production of the Drama Club, Teahouse of the August Moon ; and the Children ' s Theater presentation.

Life in Germany is very different from life in the U. S. says Wolfgang Hunneshagen, a foreign exchange student to Beaver- ton High School, who visited Northwestern as a guest of NHS. One of the most highly respected organizations in the school, National Honor Society, is sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth Calkins. In addition to the usual activities the society has a special project this year. They are studying the various foreign student exchange programs in the hope of arranging such a program for the Wildcats. Spring and fall Initiations are held every year for those out- standing juniors and seniors who meet the stringent academic requirements and receive the necessary faculty recommendations.

Require Diligence and Willingness to Work Lorraine Lajewski and Val Scho discuss the remaining debates they have sched- uled in order to map final strategy. This year the debate teams led by Mrs. Peggy Turner completed a very successful year. Varsity debaters won nine out of ten debates in the State League and later went on to qualify for the Regionals by winning four out of six debates in district com- petition. Outstanding Senior debaters were Ray Lukasavitz for winning an individual award in the Wayne County League and Val Scho for receiving 71 out of a possible 75 speaker points qualifying her for the Free Press Scholarship Contest. Junior debaters did equally as well. In Wayne County League competition the J.V. ' s won first place with individual speaker awards being won by John Jarvis and Mark Clod- felter. They placed third in the Genesee County League which also helped highlight their successful year.
